A horrible @airindia crash today being the first 787 Dreamliner ever to have a fatal incident
Both the 787 and the 737 Max are part of the new "problem generation" of Boeing aircraft starting around the mid-2000s
Like the 737 Max, the Dreamliner had lots of manufacturing/safety issues but at least until today it never crashed
We have to wait for the investigation to make any conclusions why though
This crash puts the 787 Dreamliner near the bottom of airplane models in fatality odds though, positioning it next to the ATR 42/72, the plane that fell from the sky in Brazil last year
I personally solely fly Airbus planes:
- Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 Classic or Neo
- Airbus A350
- Airbus A340
- Airbus A380
Or Boeing models but ONLY from before the mid-2000s:
- Boeing 737NG
- Boeing 747-400
- Boeing 777
- Boeing 717
All of these have great safety records
The 737 Max and 787 Dreamliner do not
I track all of these on my sites โ๏ธ Airline List dot com
P.S. I am NOT suicidal
Well played Virat.
It took me 365 days to go from 49 to 50 earlier this year. I hope you go from 49 to 50 and break my record in the next few days.
Congratulations!!
